Flight Through the Orion Nebula in Infrared Light

COSMIC MESSAGE

This visualization takes us on a flight through the Orion Nebula, based on infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We move through a valley, more than a light-year wide, carved into the region's giant molecular cloud. The Orion Nebula is a star-forming region, about 1,500 light-years from Earth.
